[Squeak-VMdev] Unix VM from svn repository: Compile Problems

[Wolfgang M. <wol...@gm...>]

has anyone managed to compile the latest Linux/Unix VM from the svn 
repository?

My system environment:
VMMaker 3.8b2B from SqueakMap, all plugins internal
Image 3.8g 6550
svn trunk snapshot 949
Intel P4, running Fedora Core 1
gcc 3.3.2


It seems that the implementation of 'char* getImageName(void)' is 
missing from the Unix sources (only MacOSX and Risc define an 
implementation for that):

> vm/vm.a(gnu-interp.o)(.text+0x10dbc): In function `snapshot':
> /usr/local/squeak/src/build/bld/vm/gnu-interp.c:20625: undefined reference to `getImageName'
> vm/vm.a(gnu-interp.o)(.text+0x11f76): In function `writeImageFile':
> /usr/local/squeak/src/build/bld/vm/gnu-interp.c:21800: undefined reference to `getImageName'
> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
> make: *** [squeak] Error 1


Also, there are some error messages related to undefined members of the 
sqMouseEvent structure in platforms/unix/vm/sqUnixEvent.c:

> In file included from /usr/local/squeak/src/build/platforms/unix/vm-display-fbdev/sqUnixFBDev.c:110:

> make[1]: *** [sqUnixFBDev.lo] Error 1
> make: *** [vm-display-fbdev.la] Error 2

Anyway, I had to apply the attached patch to make it compile. I would be 
grateful if someone more intimate with the VM could comment on whether 
those changes are necessary, safe, or even correct? (The MacOSX VM seems 
to translate the image name according to the locale. Is that necessary 
for the Unix VM, too?)
